Antonio Vasquez Posted April 27, 2018 #1 Posted April 27, 2018 I am currently working on a plastic USS constitution model. While working on the upper deck I had one of the guns on the Lord gundeck come loose from the deck. The cannon is still glued to his carriage but the entire assembly has come off the deck . Is there any trick to re-gluing the gun back down when you already have the upper deck glued in place? Quote

popeye2sea Posted April 28, 2018 #3 Posted April 28, 2018 I had this happen on my Soleil Royal build. You can read about how I fixed it there. Essentially I took enough off the gun carriage so that it fits through the port and re glued it back inside. Regards, mtaylor 1 Quote Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler !

JerseyCity Frankie Posted April 28, 2018 #5 Posted April 28, 2018 Dab of glue on the end of a wire? Nobody will see a big blob of glue on the deck in this location. mtaylor and BETAQDAVE 2 Quote Quote Niagara USS Constitution
BETAQDAVE Posted April 29, 2018 #6 Posted April 29, 2018 Antonio, I agree with Frankie on this solution as I had to do it the same way. mtaylor 1 Quote Dave “You’ve just got to know your limitations” Dirty Harry Current Builds: Modified MS 1/8” scale Phantom, and modified plastic/wood hybrid of Aurora 1:87 scale whaling bark Wanderer.
